Away from Them

He 

didn't want

The colours;

The vague, the Unknown, the Stopping of the Poem

             Was 

Him. . .;

He had lost ,

How to Love!

She

      would bring him back

To himself,

                To Love. . .

away from them, and their cruel ennui

And their mindless clamour about trivia ,

their bartering of souls,

   the wages put upon Poets' spirits,

  the coming and going of heartless people.
